Details: Small, peaceful, no hype, rustic retreat visited mostly by locals and people from San Francisco who like to cook. Facilities include: 3 or 4 funky but clean private cast iron bathtubs with warm water, a small shallow warm outdoor moon view pool, one very hot gazebo hot tub seats about 4-6 (heater goes off around 10pm), new moderately large tile and wood steam or sauna cabins with a little natural light. Wonderful large community omnivore kitchen with great stove, basic cooking gear, utensils, and spices. Large refrigerator and individual food storage bins available. Casual dining room to eat your own cooked meals. Tiny library. Pot bellied stoves often used to heat rooms. Unsecured parking in area across the road from the property. Easy access.
Nearby hiking: Wonderful looped hike through the shady redwoods about 5-10 minute drive down the country road.
NOTES: Orr has gone through extensive renovation over the last several years, though it maintains its quaint charm. Best to check if construction will be going during your planned stay. They don’t seem to volunteer this information over the phone, or give discounts for the disturbance or reduced facilities. Last I heard they were planning to divert warm water to the cold outdoor pool.
